Halloween 2018 – Preescolar y primaria

Halloween is an annual holiday celebrated each year on October 31, and Halloween 2018 occurs on Wednesday, October 31.
It originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints; soon, All Saints Day incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All Hallows Eve, and later Halloween. Over time, Halloween evolved into a day of activities like trick-or-treating, carving jack-o-lanterns, festive gatherings, donning costumes and eating sweet treats.

This year in the school third graders were in charge to carry out this event. Students worked on a Project about the way U.S.A celebrates Halloween. The topic was worked in the classroom and they investigated the origin of this celebration, why it is an important date and the meaning, as well as the activities people do nowadays.
